Friends' chairman Mike Bain said: “It’s our first time at the Devizes Lions May Day Fair and we’ve been busy. We buy a car every year and raffle it off, with the money going to the museum trust. This car has a bit of charisma and lots of people have said they had this car.”

Fair newcomer Matthew Higgins, who has moved from Yorkshire to All Cannings, with his wife and three children, said: “It’s wonderful. We’ve seen the steam engine, the Army vehicles and now the carousel ride.”

Devizes Lions' president Geoffrey Taylor said: “The fair is for everybody to enjoy. It’s our way of giving something back to the town.”
